Veteran Outreach

Coming home doesn't mean the battle is over. With over 10 times the amount of veterans lost to suicide than to combat operations in the same time period, there has never been a more important time to TAKE A STAND and DO something to support our veterans!! If you or someone you know is suffering from PTSD, we have people that have shared a similar experience and are ready to help.

VFW Auxiliary Garage Sale

By Linda Rucker

The VFW Auxiliary is gathering items for our rummage sale in September. We are in desperate need of plastic totes to store items. Please contact Linda Rucker 916-247-3542 for more information. We need good items, so spread the word to friends and neighbors. Let’s make this our best year yet. All profits go to our VFW and Auxiliary projects. We bought a powerful outdoor sound system last year to use for our events held outside.
